Log helpers' hours and items

Log the hours a helper worked, or the items they photographed, so it counts toward their week.

Last updated Oct 12, 2026 · Applies to MellowTools Pay

Work that is not a show, like shipping, inventory or photographing, goes on the Work page. Each entry is paid at the helper’s rate for that kind of work: their hourly rate for hours, or their per item rate for items. It counts toward the week the work was done.

  • The helper and their rates are set up. See Start Pay and set up your team.
  • Helpers who sign in can log their own work the same way. They only see and log their own.

Click Work in the Pay menu, then click Log work at the top right.

Step 2: Fill in the work and click Log work

Section titled “Step 2: Fill in the work and click Log work”
  1. Date: the day the work was done.
  2. Helper: who did it.
  3. Activity: what they did. Each activity says whether it is paid hourly or per item.
  4. Time worked: hours and minutes. For a per item activity this box asks for the number of items instead.

Add a Note if you like, then click Log work at the bottom of the form.

Under This week, the Work page lists each day with its total and the work logged that day. When a day also had shows, a line under the total splits it into work (logged hours and items), tips and show cut. Earlier weeks are listed below with their totals. Click one to open it.

To change or remove an entry, click Edit or Delete on its line. For an earlier week, open the week first.
